NOTICE
The basic Table of Limits, SSP2070 (including SSP2070-1, SSP2070-2, SSP2070-3 and SSP2070-3A) has been completely
revisedand reissuedherewith as SSP1776. It is now made up of the following four parts, each part contains five sections.
This publication supersedes and replaces the previous publications SSP2070, SSP2070-1, SSP2070-2, SSP2070-3 and
SSP2070-3A; it is not to be used in conjunction with them. To make sure that SSP1776 will receive the attention of
maintenance personnel, a complete set of pages for the book is sent to all registered owners of Overhaul Manuals. These
recipients should remove all previous Table of Limits material from the Overhaul Manual and discard.
Additional copies of this revised Table of Limits, bound in a plastic cover, are available as indicated in the latest edition of
ServiceLetter No. L114.
Reference numbers in the Table of Limits vary from previous Table of Limits therefore, the current as well as the old
numbers are listed. The shaded columns contain the old reference numbers.
(A) These fits are either shrink fits controlled by machining, fits that may readily be
adjusted, or fits where wear does not normally occur. In each case, the fit must
be held to manufacturing tolerance.
(B) Side clearance on piston rings must be measured with face of ring flush with
piston.
(D) The dimensions shown are measured at the bottom of the piston skirt at right
angles to the piston pin.
(E) Permissible wear of the crankshaft (rod and main bearing journals) to be minus
0.0015 on the diameter.
(L) Loose fit; wherein a definite clearance is mentioned between the mating
surfaces.
(T) Tight fit; shrink or interference fit.
(WD) Wide Deck Crankcase.

Introduction
The illustrations shown are typical of the referenced limit or fit described in the Table and in no instance are these
illustrations intended to represent a specific part or engine model unless specified. Also, the terms used to designate cylinder,
piston and ring materials such as "nitride, chrome, half-wedge" are more fully explained in the latest edition of Service
Instruction No. 1037.
NOTE: In "Chart" column, a number appearing after a letter shows exception to the basic model.
